Apparently Hailey is a Gymnast!

So, as you know dance class did not work out...but Gymnastics (or as Hailey calls it "nastics") was a SUCCESS! The first class was on Thursday, March 12th at Tricks Gym. Sam was home sick with pneumonia, so Dani and I took her to a trial class.

Once again a very pregnant Danielle and I switched off working with her in her class. She loved it.

The funniest part was towards the end of class when all the parents/grandparents and kids were sitting in a big circle. The teacher, Miss Brooke, gave each of us plastic eggs with rice inside.

We were practicing shaking them slow, then fast, then slow, etc. Hailey put hers down on the floor, got up and went to the center of the circle where she performed a perfect somersault and then stood up and went "ta da".

Of course all the adults clapped - just what she wanted - she's found her nitch...

Hailey's 1st Dance Class???

Today was a day that Danielle and I have been looking forward to for a few weeks... Hailey's very first dance class. Wow, did it turn out differently than we thought it would. The teacher was great, the studio was great, the idea was great...Hailey on the other hand was not great.

Oh she enjoyed herself, but she was doing her own thing - the whole time. She had her own ideas about how she would participate in class. She did everything, except what the other kids were doing.

But, she did look cute in her leotard, skirt and ballet slippers. When class was finally over and Danielle and I managed to wipe the sweat from our brows, it was a collective decision that it might be best to sign her up for gymnastics class.

We'll see how that goes...
